Overview

The main reading

As Moon is placed in Sagittarius some of you may be feeling optimistic and confident. You may be in a mood to put pending plans into action and will be determined to see results. You will have little tolerance for procrastination and will look only for result-oriented solutions. Definitely use this energy to your advantage today and complete any pending plans today, dear Virgo. Wear something in green for good luck and peace, say Astroyogi astrologers. 4 pm to 6 pm is your lucky time to achieve goals you set for yourself.

Love

Romance and relationships

Today you may be catching up with a friend and then have that glimmer of recognition that this person may be the one you were looking for. You have only known this person for a short while, so try not to get carried away. However, do take the time to cherish this person and allow yourself to consider whether he or she might be a good match for you!

Career

Work and ambition

There are a lot of times when you yearn to do something clever, creative, inventive and ingenious of lasting value. This is one of those days. If such an urge catches hold of you today, just go and give it a chance. You may not know it, but your instincts are better than you think.

Finance

Money and resources

Money comes in from various sources. Today is a day when some of your long-term investments may begin to pay you back. You may have invested in some insurance schemes or fixed deposits, or other forms of relatively safe investments, and today you will see some returns on these investments. These returns will be a most welcome source of additional funds.

Health

Body and energy

If you are a student then today you will find that you are feeling quite tense and fatigued. The many hours of studying that you have been putting in lately are starting to take a toll on your health. Try not to be distracted while you are studying and you will find that you have more time to sleep at night.
